ronaldT-5	> then that is a limitation of hosting not on WPML. < Without a concrete sample with no proof, I'm still skeptical. > french.home-alarm.ca < It doesn't look like a French domain to me. It looks more like an English domain with French content. I need something with the alarme-maison.ca domain involved. I just tried the /en/ and /fr/ format, and it is NOT working at all either. It used to work on my old WPBakery website. See the attachments.

Dražen Duvnjak Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+01:00)	Hello, I just checked your website and I see your EN is the default language and you are not using a directory for the default language option, only for 2nd. So if you visit /fr/ URL shows fine. - hidden link Please check: - https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/ - https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/directory-default-language/ Kind regards, Drazen

ronaldT-5	Since it is to be only temporary on my staging (no one else sees the staging other than me), I guess it can all stay the way it is now. No need to break my head over this, I presume. Once I will push the staging onto the live production, I shall revert back to using 2 different domains. Right?

Dražen Duvnjak Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+01:00)	Hello, Sure, sounds good. As for your doubts about /en/ homepage, all you need is to enable also a directory for the default language as explained in the docs: - https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/directory-default-language/ Hope this helps make it more clear. Kind regards, Drazen
